The public phase of impeachment begins today. The case is pretty clear. However, the incidentals are just confusing enough to confound the normal person who does not spend the day crawling through news for the latest update.
Perhaps there is a "smoking gun" witness. Lev Parnas springs to mind. More likely we will simply get a public record of the president abusing the powers of his office for personal gain. Sure, Ukraine is the issue at hand, but there are so many other instances it's boggles the mind that Democrats are focusing on only one instance. Of course, that's Trump's instinctual strategy: flood the zone with so much egregious conduct that your opponents get distracted. There are actual white supremacists working in the White House, and that barely registers in the swirling shitstorm of Trumpistan.
Most people made up their minds weeks ago, based on what they already believe about politics. Unless there is a surprise appearance by Parnas or John Bolton, the needle is likely stuck. Trump will be impeached by the House and not removed by the Senate, because America is broken and GOP loyalty to their party over their country broke it.
